Methodology

Economies are ranked for 2024 only. The reference year is the latest year in which at least 80 economies have a non-null figure. World, regional, and income-group aggregates are excluded. A country's own latest year is not substituted into this ranking.

Missing data

A missing figure is left out. It is not treated as zero, and it is not estimated.
